Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again,teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most mon 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 7 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the roomfor them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions.Psychologists say that 12 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 13 to their children butat the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 14 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. munication is a two-way process.

Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a 1 in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 ，experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 3 .However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three.Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow (乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 . He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's.1.

When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve.

Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant donˈt worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: "Safe! Safe! Safe!" And thatˈs what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, Iˈd given it up.When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. Iˈve traveled back several times since, most recently t his past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭) among thekids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded(滑) up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. "I was a local here 20 years ago," I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. "Safe, man. Safe.""Yeah," I said. "Safe."8.What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?A. He felt disappointed.B. He gave up his hobby.C. He liked the weather there.D. He had disagreements with his family.9.What do the underlined words "Safe! Safe! Safe!" probably mean?A. Be careful!B. Well done!C. No way!D. Donˈt worry!10.Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?A. To join the skateboarding.B. To make new friends.C. To learn more tricks.D. To relive his childhood days.11.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A. Children should learn a second language.B. Sport is necessary for childrenˈs health.C. Children need a sense of belonging.D. Seeing the world is a must for children.(2021·全国·历年真题)DWho is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Letˈs state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. Itˈs said that histo ry is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made bygeniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别) are "really, really smart." Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are "really, really smart." Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesnˈt take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not. Here's the good news. In a wired world w ith constant global communication, weˈre all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素) like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with "intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."12.What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?A. They're unfair.B. They're conservative.C. They're objective.D. They're strict.13.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?A. They think themselves smart.B. They look up to great thinkers.C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.14.Why are more geniuses known to the public?A. Improved global communication.B. Less discrimination against women.C. Acceptance of victorsˈ concepts.D. Changes in people's social positions.15.What is the best title for the text?A. Geniuses Think AlikeB. Genius Takes Many FormsC. Genius and IntelligenceD. Genius and Luck二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）(2021·全国·历年真题) Swap, Donˈt shop!You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源) to make, and buying loads of new clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? 16 . It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. 17 , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.● 18 . They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 19 . Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.●Set a starting time. Maybe you say "go", or turn on a certain song, or whatever. 20 . And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!A. Less people than thatB. Hold a clothing swapC. If two people are competingD. Just keep music playing throughoutE. Donate whatever clothes are left overF. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spotsG.

People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class. The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.28.

阅读理解——推理判断题(一)ATeenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years.Even with your daily troubles，your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.I know exactly how you feel.Teenage life can be hard.You are not a kid anymore，because you are smart enough to observe and analyze your surroundings.However，you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences.To top it all，the hormonal(荷尔蒙的)imbalance in your body can really mess you up.I have been there.I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!As a teenager，I had a major problem completing my chores on time.And at that time，all that I needed to do was to finish my assignments，study for the upcoming tests and clean my room.Now，I have much more things to do: cooking，cleaning and working while striking a balance between all my relationships related to work，family and friends.That really is a lot of work.So，I will just give you one golden tip，quoting from Benjamin Franklin，“Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down.Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things.We'd rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities.That is why you have so much trouble in your life；your parents won't let you go out with friends because you haven't cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven't finished your assignments.[语篇解读] 作者通过自己的经历告诉我们：如果你懂得如何处理日常烦恼，你的青少年生活就没有那么难了。

(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)ALaptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use emails to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees — anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop used in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable (轻便的) computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”1. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ________.A. use for their schoolworkB. access the InternetC. work at homeD. connect them to libraries2. Why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks (引号)?A. They don’t really talk.B. They use the computer language.C. Laptops have speakers.D. None of the above reasons is correct.3. Which of the following is TRUE about Westlake College?A. All teachers use computers.B. 1,500 students have laptops.C. It is an old college in America.D. Students there can do nothing.4. “A window on the world” in the last paragraph means that students can ________.A. attend lectures on information technologyB. travel around the worldC. get information from around the worldD. have free laptops5. What can we infer from the passage?A. The program is successful.B. The program is not workable.C. The program is too expensive.D. We don’t know the result yet.[助读词汇]resource n. 资源powerful adj. 有力量的connect to 使与......连接have access to 接近in addition 另外be similar to 与......相似BI’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them— to be honest. We would have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange emails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook, and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials— unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you would find him warm, and self-effacing (谦逊的). Read his Facebook and you’ll realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed boring man. He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it.Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to run. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He’s doing well— level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies— and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?Take Liz. She is positive that the flu vaccine (流感疫苗) will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine madman on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sand wich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t up to his standards?1. Who is opposed to the flu vaccine in the passage?A. Fred.B. Andy.C. Liz.D. Chris.2. What is Andy probably busy doing now?A. He’s running his company.B. He’s playing golf all day.C. He’s looking for another job.D. He’s playing computer games.3.

2021年高考英语阅读专项训练心理精神类(含答案)
21年高考英语阅读专项训练12-3《心理精神类》Passage 1"Earworms", some people call them. Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, sometimes for days, sometimes for months. For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites (寄生虫) living in a part of our minds.If you have got an earworm you can suffer an attack of it simply by someone mentioning the tune, without having to hear it. This proves that earworms are a part of long-term memory.Humans have an "inner ear", for remembering phone numbers, for instance. When it gets infected with earworms, rather than review our plans for the day, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, upsetting us with a request that we never asked for. The mind is an inner world which we do not have complete knowledge of, or have control over.Fortunately psychology can provide some advice on how to deal with an uncontrollable mind. Consider the famous "don’t think of a white bear" problem, which tells you to try not to think about white bears, or to do something else, to avoid both thinking of the white bear and not thinking of the white bear. For earworms, the solution may be the same. Our inner ear has become infected with an earworm. This is a part not under our control, so just sending in instructions to "shut up" is unlikely to be of much help (and has been shown to make it worse).Much better is to employ the inner ear in another task. If your mind is poisoned by Brittany Spears’ Toxic, for instance, then try singing Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head. Let me know if it works!53. According to the passage, earworms are ______.A.songs that keep going round in our mindB.worms that live in a part of our brainC.tunes by pop singers like Lady GagaD.parasites clearly under our control54. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Singing songs may get earworms out of your head.B.Earworms are used for keeping long-term memory.C.Humans do not have complete control over their mind.D.You won’t suffer from earworms unless you hear the song.55. What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.The instruction to shut up your mind.B.“Don’t think of the white bear” problem.C. Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head.D. Using the earworm-infected inner ear in another task.56.What is the passage mainly about?A.The causes and influences of earworms.B.What earworms are and how to deal with them.C.How to clear earworms out of your head.D.The relation between earworms and popular songs.Words and expressions1.Psychologist—psychology2.attack3.mention4.infect5.instruction—instruct6.poison7.get stuck in8.cannot help doing9.permission—permit10.shut upPassage 2The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go. For life is a paradox (自相矛盾): it orders us to hold tightly to its many gifts even while it forces us to give up everything at last. As an old saying goes, “A man comes into this world with his fist clenched (握紧拳头), but when he dies, his hand is open.”Surely we ought to hold fast to life, for it is wonderful, and full of beauty. We know that this is so, but all too often we recognize this truth too late. We remember what it was and then suddenly realize that it is no more.We remember a beauty or a love that disappeared. But we remember with far greater pain that we did not see that beauty when it flowered and that we failed to react with love when it was gentle.A recent experience re-taught me this truth. I was hospitalized following a serious heart attack and had been in intensive care (特别护理) for several days. It was not a pleasant place.One morning, I had to have some additional tests. The required machines were located in a building at the opposite end of the hospital, so I had to be wheeled across the courtyard.As we got out from our unit, the sunlight hit me. That’s all there was to my experience, just the light of the sun. And yet how beautiful it was — how warming, how sparking, how brilliant! I looked to see whether anyone else was enjoying the s un’s golden glow, but everyone was hurrying to and fro, most with eyes fixed on the ground. Then I remembered how often I, too, had been indifferent to the beauty of each day, too busy with something unimportant. L ife’s gifts are valuable — but we are too careless of them.So, we should never be too busy for the wonder and awe of life. We should hold fast to life, but also learn to l et go. This is the second side of life’s coin, the opposite pole of its paradox. We must accept our losses, and learn how to let go. This is not an easy lesson to learn, especially when we are young and think that the world belongs to us, that whatever we want can or will be ours if we work with full force. But then reality finally hits us, and slowly but surely this truth comes to us.57. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Life seems strange with opposite ideas.B. Life teaches us to hold tight to our life.C. Life is a box of chocolates with secrets.D. Life is mainly about birth and death.58. The writer may agree that _______.A. wise people can easily realize what they lost in timeB. people in sickness usually understand life much betterC. it does us harm to think about what happened in the pastD. we must accept our losses and then move onto a new life59. The writer uses the example in Paragraph 4-6 in order to _______.A. explained the importance of keeping healthyB. tell a meaningful story about his life in the hospitalC. show his regret about not enjoying the sunshine in the pastD. prove people fail to enjoy something small but valuableWords and expressions1.paradox2.tightly3.hospitalize4.heart attack5.additional6.courtyard7.spark8.brilliant9.unimportant10.be careless of11.be located in12.to and fro13.fix on14.belong toPassage 3Depression is not a choice. Rather, it is a true medical condition like high blood pressure or heart disease. In the United States alone, more than 17 million people suffer from depression with women being twice as likely as men to suffer from the disease. Depression crosses racial and socioeconomic lines. Anyone can suffer from it, and those that do are not "crazy" or "weak". They have a serious yet highly treatable disease.Feeling down? You’re not alone. If depression seems pretty common, it is. One in every ten adults suffers from depression. And that’s what has scientists confused. If depression causes harm to the body, why is it so widespread in the population? Some scientists think they may have the answer. Depression may have an evolutionary (进化) benefit. It may improve one’s chances of fighting off infection (感染).Scientists have known that depressed people show an immunoreactive (免疫反应性的) condition known as inflammation (炎症), even when they are not infected. For several years they have been finding that genes (基因) linked to depression also affect the function of the immune system. Stress, which can lead to depression, also change the immune system. These findings suggested that depression was somehow linked to the body’s ability to fight disease.Some scientists now come up with the idea that depression might have had an evolutionary advantage in the days before modern medicine and antibiotics (抗生素). Infection was a major cause of death in early human history. Surviving those infections determined which genes were passed to the next generation.They doubt that de pression helped people, especially children, stay alive from infection. Extreme tiredness leads to inactivity and less social contact which helps keep infection from spreading. Having no appetite helps avoid food sharing which can also spread infection. Sleeplessness, which is associated with both depression and immune system activation, may have been a mechanism to keep a person alert(机警) to fight off enemies after injury.If scientist s are correct about this link, it could lead to new treatments for depression. They are interested in drugs that treat conditions where the immune system attacks the person’s own body, known as auto immune diseases. It is possible that medicine known to treat auto immune disease may be successful in treating depression also.56. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means ____.A. there is a depression line between different groups and societiesB. people at a higher social position may tend to suffer from depressionC. people who are living with depression could connect with each otherD. anyone can get depression whatever their economic states and backgrounds are57. In Paragraph 2 the author ______.A. introduces an idea on depressionB. gives an example to show his ideaC. explains how depression worksD. describes the depression problems58. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Depression can spread infection.B. Stress may affect the function of the immune system.C. Women are less likely to suffer from depression.D. Modern medicine is widely used for treating depression.59. The writer mainly wants to tell people that depression _____.A. is serious but highly treatable diseaseB. could have its advantages in scientific researchC. may improve one’s chances of fighting off infectionD. is a true medical condition like high blood pressureWords and expressions1.depression2.blood pressure3.heart disease4.suffer from5.treatable6.confuse7.infect8.linked to9.affecte up with11.extreme12.inactivity13.contact14.appetite15.be associated with16.mechanism17.economic states18.backgrounds Passage 1 ACDB Passage 2 ADD Passage 3 DABC21年高考英语阅读专项训练12-4《动物植物类》Exercise 1(2016北京高考C)California Condor’s Shocking RecoveryCalifornia condors are North America’s largest birds, with wind-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.Electrical lines have been killing them off.“As they go in to rest for the night, they just don’t see the power lines,”says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines at once.So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-freed condors died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.Lead poisonous has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney(肾) failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.Rideout’s team thinks that the California condors’ average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now,”he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them. ”63.California condors attract researchers’ interest because they .A.are active at nightB.had to be bred in the wildC.are found on in CaliforniaD.almost died out in the 1980s64. Researchers have found electrical lines are .A.blocking condors’ journey homeB. big killers of Califorbnia condorasC. rest places for condors at nightD. used to keep condors away65.According to Paragraph 5 ,lead poisoning .A.makes condors too nervous to flyB. has little effect on condors’ kidneysC. can hardly be gotten rid of from condors’ bloodD. makes it different for condors to produce baby birds66.The passage shows that .A.the average survival time of condors is satisfactoryB.Rideout’s research interest lies in electric engineeringC.the efforts to protect condors have brought good resultsD.researchers have found the final answers to the problemI.key words1.electrical----electric----electricity2.rescue3.undeadly4.effective----effect----effort----affect5.vitalII.key phrases1.die out2.kill sb offe up with4.pay off5.annual death rate6.average survival time7.put effort into doing sthIII.sentencesPassage 1What do three hearts, eight arms, and one huge brain add up to? An octopus—a sea animal that can do amazing things.Octopuses are very smart. They can learn new things just like humans. They’ve even learned a few skills to get themselves out of dangerous situations. Octopuses don’t have teeth or sharp (锋利的) claws to prote ct themselves. Instead, they use more clever ways to fool their enemies. Octopuses like to hide themselves in the sand on the bottom of the ocean floor. It can change the color of its skin to match the sand. And this color change happens in less than a minute.Some octopuses like to stay near rocks in shallow water. They can make themselves fit into small spaces between the rocks to get out of reach of their enemies. Another way an octopus can hide is by shooting ink. The ink forms a cloud that hides the octopus. By the time the ink clears, the octopus has swum away or hidden.If an octopus is in danger, it can make itself look like a sea snake. It will hide itself in the sand, leaving two arms outside. It will change the color of those arms to match a sea snake. But what if there’s no time to hide? It can break off one of its arms. The arm will then change colors and keep moving around in the water to take the enemy’s attention away while the octopus swims away to safety. Don’t worry though. The arm will grow back.A kind of octopus is called the blue-ringed octopus. It is tiny. But the enemies know to stay away because it is very poisonous and can kill animals much larger than itself, including humans.So the next time you see an octopus in the aquarium, remember that inside that oversized head is a very large brain, making it a clever addition to the sea.53. The octopus breaks off one of its arms to ______.A. fit into small spacesB. swim much fasterC. get time to run awayD. shoot more ink54. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The octopus has sharp teeth to catch food.B. The octopus uses its arms to kill the enemy.C. The octopus changes color to fool the sea snake.D. The octopus can make itself look like another animal.55. The passage is mainly about ______.A. how careful the octopus is to hide itselfB. how clever the octopus is to protect itselfC. how happy the octopus is to live in waterD. how brave the octopus is to face dangersWords and expressions1.Bottom2.match3.attention4.poisonous5.aquariumPassage 2People have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years. In the 12th century, the royal palaces of Iraq and Syria included pigeon houses so the kings could be kept informed of their generals’ victories and defeats on the battlefield. In fact, pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II.Many countries, such as the United States, England, France, Germany, and Italy, in both World War I and World War II, used carrier pigeons. Not only were the birds often the fastest, most reliable way to send messages, they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Since they could easily be released (释放) from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds. In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers and 150 officers were needed to care for and train the tens of thousands of birds in the U.S. Pigeon Service.Carrying messages could be a dangerous job. Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals, such as England’s Dicken Medal of Gallantry. In a few cases, pigeons even became prisoners of war. In 1918 American forces captured a pigeon named Kaiser, which had been trained to fly special missions for Germany during battle. He was taken to America, where he lived to the age of 32. The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War I, he carried twelve important messages fo r American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers. For his extraordinary service, he was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre.”Carrier pigeons are a slightly different breed (品种) from the kind of pigeons you see on city streets. They are much thinner and taller, with longer legs. Many people find carrier pigeons ugly because of their big wattle, a bent buildup of skin on the beak（鸟嘴）; however, people who raise pigeons often enjoy this strange appearance and consider carriers the best of their breed.Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons—especially those that served in the military—have earned their place in histo ry. Stories about brave pigeons such as Cher Ami, President Wilson, and Colonel’s Lady have the power to inspire us as no fax machine or high-speed Internet connection could ever do.57. Many countries used carrier pigeons in the war because_______.A.they could be believed inB.they were easily raisedC.they could reach the enemy linesD.they could hardly be found by airplanes58. Which is the best example to show the bravery of carrier pigeons?A. Carrier pigeons could fly to places where radios and telephone lines were useless.B. For his extraordinary servic e, Cher Ami was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre”.C. In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers were needed to care for and train the pigeons.D. In the 12th century, kings in Iraq were kept informed of the victories and defeats bypigeons.59.From the passage, we can learn _________.A.how carrier pigeons developed in historyB.how to train carrier pigeons to get victoryC.carrier pigeons played an important role in the wars in the old daysD.pigeons inspired soldiers to fight before high-speed Internet inventedWords and expressions1.royal2.reliable3.release4.captureitary6.inspirePassage 2 ABC21年高考英语阅读专项训练12-3《娱乐与体育》Passage 1LOS ANGELES - China has become the world's second-largest market for films, after North America, and China's box office earnings are growing by 30 percent a year. The country is changing the way Hollywood does business.Films made or shown in China are reviewed by a board of censors（审查署）, and the film Skyfall had some parts cut. The science fiction film Cloud Atlas lost 40 minutes, mostly parts showing violence（暴力）．Films are also cut if they harm China image（形象）．Some big action films have a direct China connection. The adventure Iron Man 3 was partly filmed in China, so it has also been examined by Chinese officials. "Chinese opinions also influence other films, like 2012", said Stanley Rosen at the University of Southern California. He studies China's film industry. "Even if you're not making in China, a film like 2012 will be very careful. A film including something that hurts Chinese feelings will simply kill the market."Chinese audiences love big movies with special effects. Half of Hollywood's box is from Chinese theaters, and Chinese officials last year raised the yearly percentage of film imports(进口) from 20 to 34. Life of Pi was well received from Taiwan-born director Ang Lee, who has won his second Oscar Award for Best Director at the 85th Academy Awards Ceremony."More Hollywood studios（制片公司）are finding Chinese partners for co-productions, and Disney and DreamWorks Animation(梦工厂) are putting money in tourist attractions in Shanghai." Stanley Rosen said, "It's a developing relationship, and Hollywood needs China, as the North American market has been flat. But China needs Hollywood, as well, as you see with DreamWorks and Disney go ing in."And China is coming to Hollywood. The Chinese company TCL has bought the right to rename the historic Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. And Dalian Wanda Group has bought a key American theater chain（连锁影院）, AMC. The ties between China and Hollywood are expected to grow further in the future.54. __________is the largest market for films in the world.A. ChinaB. North AmericaC. The United StatesD. India55. From the passage, we can infer that __________.A. Chinese audiences develop Hollywood filmsB. Hollywood starts to do business in a Chinese wayC. Chinese film market has an influence on HollywoodD. Hollywood films are shown in most of Chinese theaters56. The writer uses Disney, DreamWorks Animation and TCL as examples to__________.A. show the connections between China and HollywoodB. introduce the movie studios in China and HollywoodC. show how China and Hollywood help each otherD. explain why more movie studios go into ChinaWords and expressions1.audience2.relationship3.flatIn the past ten years, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA name list will be filled by non-Americans. NBA director David Stem happily welcomes the chance. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his picture for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2015.The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.“Our experience in China has been that it is going to grow surprisingly,” said Stern. The way in China is television. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets played two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to make up for poor times in homeland.“It doesn’t matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout search internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Anto nio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Others, such as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming — number one draft pick in 2002 —and the Detroit Pistons’ 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic —number two overall in this year’s draft —are heroes in-waiting. It is the revolution —the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.53. According to the report, ___.A. Michael Jordan is still playing a very important role in NBAB. the part played by the foreign players in NBA will be greatC. Yao Ming is to play two pre-season games in NBAD. European countries will host the 2004 NBA games54. The underlined phrase “take China by storm”means that ___.A. NBA intends to make China its “marketing center”B. NBA is planning to set up some training centers in ChinaC. there’ll be a big storm when NBA comes to ChinaD. the NBA’s live basket games will be broadcasted on all the TVs in China55. What seems to be the biggest change that is happening to NBA?A. Yao Ming has taken the place of Michael Jordan.B. China’s rapid development in sports affects NBA.C.

2021年广东省高考英语总复习：阅读理解
1．Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer who helped shape the course of American literature．His life was full of tragedies，but he had the great influence on the 19th﹣century American literature and continues to influence writers to this day．

2．Education officials and industry experts are debating the future of online learning．The discussion is important because hundreds of universities in the United States have recently moved classes online because of the spread of the novel coronavirus（冠状病毒）．For Asha Choksi，the rise of Internet﹣based or online study programs has led to major improvements in higher education．"It's actually given a lot more power to students in terms of how，when and where they learn，" the head of research for Pearson Education said．Classes meet online through video conferencing．In this way，students are able to communicate with each other and their professors even when they are far away from school．However，recent research suggests the majority of college students and professors prefer in﹣person instruction，because they are concerned that companies supervising（监管）online learning programs are not clear about the policies the schools have．
"Students see in﹣class lectures as opportunities to engage with instructors，peers，and content．" the researchers wrote．In﹣person learning is especially important in fields like healthcare and teaching．Online education can never really take its place，said Stephanie Hall，
a fellow with the independent policy research group The Century Foundation．"Students need
to experience…what they're learning about，reading about or hearing about in the classroom．And I don't know yet the degree to which technology can facilitate that．"。
